25.01.2022 WINTER IS OVER ! We are Spring Cleaning the Framing Department and have many many many frames to clear out. Odd sizes, end of run mouldings, refurbished frames, some shop-soiled with minor defects, some empty, most with glass and backing, LOTS of them from a CRAZY $5.00. They won't last, they will fly out the door, hurry in and scoop up a bargain .... or two !

25.01.2022 For those diehard Magpie supporters, we have some random historic images you might like to put up in your man cave, only 2 left . These prints are 11x14

24.01.2022 Each year Foons Photographics are proud to support the annual Wonthaggi Rotary Club Dinner Auction. It seems this year our donation of a large canvas panel depicting an early 1978 aerial image of the local CBD , was a popular item. We are glad this helped raise much needed funds for there community work. I thought this would be a good time for a shameless plug about our large format photo printing service. While there are other large printers around. No one will care more about making your precious images look fantastic. Lots of gorgeous paper surfaces, watercolour, glossy , lustre and canvas. Lots of personal service and good advice too .

24.01.2022 Come see our latest range of gift ideas including some really funky Christmas decorations https://www.facebook.com/media/set/

23.01.2022 With the closure of Hazelwood Power Station a week ago, it reminded me of what a landmark it has been over my lifetime. Every trip to the Latrobe Valley would be made with the anticipation of how the view would look as I came over the final range of hills to reveal the valley ahead. It was never the same, but always had the Hazelwood station prominent in the landscape. These are two of my favourite pictures I have made over the years that show the moods that were created by mother nature and this landmark.

22.01.2022 Congratulations to Mary MacKillop Regional College for preparing a wonderfully polite and courteous group for us to photograph tonight. It has been a very pleasant night behind the camera. Well done !

22.01.2022 Autumn is my favourite time of the year for beach photo shoots. We get many mild but cool days and the light is just exquisite. Its also a casual and relaxed environment for the kids to play and the grown ups to chill out. Our local locations lend themselves to this style of lifestyle photography which can produce beautiful wall images.. Give me a call and we can plan it together. Ask for Trevor on 56721411.

22.01.2022 On a job last week doing a simple Real Estate assignment and copped a gorgeous sundown. When I thought it couldn't get any better, a low flying flock of Ibis came from nowhere and gave me a beautiful injection of nature. Yes I could have done lots of things to achieve the same effect on the computer but its so cool when it happens naturally.

21.01.2022 On a familiar stretch of beach, on a chilly, , dreary winters day, an amazing canvas was painted with the colours of nature. I never get tired of finding beautiful things to capture and share in our store. Come by and have a look at our range of gorgeous wall art depicting our local area.

21.01.2022 Last minute ideas for Mothers Day. We have pulled out some historic images of some local landmarks that you are going to love. These are now in our store ready to go as 50cm x 75cm canvas panels. Printed with long life pigmented inks and coated with a protective UV coating. These wall art images are made to last. Hurry in and see these wonderful local memories.

20.01.2022 Here is another example of our creative Custom Framing just completed. Combining a photo, text and 3 dimensional articles in the one "story box" is a beautiful way to display and preserve you precious memories.

19.01.2022 Another teaser image from the upcoming production EVITA soon to be performed by the members of the Wonthaggi Theatrical group. Time to reserve some tickets for the show.

18.01.2022 This is one of the earliest aerial photos you will find of Cape Paterson. Morris Foon took this in the early 60’s during a Surf Life Saving Club beach carnival. It depicts the town as a sparse settlement of only a few dozen homes. We have a few of thes rare pictures on hand and they are the perfect present to hang in your dad’s man cave or pool room.

17.01.2022 Lest we forget.

17.01.2022 We still have a few vacancies for our next series of basic photography lessons. Learn more about your camera and take control so you can improve your pictures.

I will be making a short presentation on the 29th of Feb about how to copy your artwork simply, for use in social media and promotion. I look forward to seeing you there.

13.01.2022 Its been a very busy year to date, so many jobs under the bridge and just not enough time to share them all. But there is a beautiful image I made recently that I feel compelled to share with you. These boisterous twins were a challenge to photograph but it felt awesome to find this moment in time captured amongst the final shots. Intertwined and anonymous, this image says a lot about the relationship between twins. We love making memories in our studio.

12.01.2022 Well its time to have a bit of a clean out in our electronic department. Lots of lines to clear. Here are some of the cool gadgets on sale !

12.01.2022 Mothers Day Gift Ideas - Foons For Gifts can help.

12.01.2022 Well that was a challenge. We just completed a mammoth panorama of early Wonthaggi (1918 to be exact) This image printed on canvas measures 3 metres long. The detail of the town and its buildings is amazing. A testament to the photographers of the day and what they were able to create with basic equipment and limited resources. Copies of this historic image will soon be made available for purchase as prints and canvas panels. A perfect gift idea for that difficult person who ...has everything. This one will be hanging on the walls of Rose Lodge very soon!

11.01.2022 Here is another image relating to the Wonthaggi Hospital circa 1965... This one will you make some of you Ambo's appreciate the buses you drive around today ? Can anyone identify these characters ?

10.01.2022 I found an image in my files recently from the early 1980's. The Bakery Restaurant was the premier restaurant and reception venue for many years in Wonthaggi. Built in the original Co_op Bakery building hence the name. Over the years we shot many weddings in here and had many family celebrations on those special occasions. The building eventually was vacated and fell into disrepair, so badly so that it was demolished and the site levelled. I hope this picture brings back some memories for those who spent a special evening or two here.

10.01.2022 Our photographers Nella & Hayley are all set and ready to shoot the gorgeous dancers of the Lisa Pellin Dance group.

10.01.2022 With Easter approaching and lots of time on your hands, how about a 1000 piece jigsaw of a local icon to keep you busy, And our cute Bunnies will be there to keep you company ! Yes we are still here to help you with our products snd services.... stay safe and keep in touch !

09.01.2022 Well just because we like a challenge. We just completed another mammoth panorama of early Wonthaggi (1918 to be exact) only the second one ever. This image printed on canvas measures 3 metres long. The detail of the town and its buildings is amazing. A testament to the photographers of the day and what they were able to create with basic equipment and limited resources. Copies of this historic image are now available for purchase as prints and canvas panels. A perfect gift i...dea for that difficult person who has everything. This one is now in store for you to have an intimate close up look !

09.01.2022 One of the best local steam train pictures that I have found in our collection. Kilcunda station. This will look stunning as a canvas panel on anyones wall. In stock now...

08.01.2022 Another amazing peice of artwork leaves our store. This would be the largest Egyptian papyrus painting I have seen and it was amazing to be trusted to make this ready for display. Merry Christmas

08.01.2022 Well its that time of year I lend a hand to the Wonthaggi Theatrical Group in promoting their annual show. This year the group is performing the musical Evita. With a small group of the cast we put together a few images for the pre promotion of the show which opens next week. With the amount of effort I could see that has gone into preparation of the sets and costuming, this show will be amazing.

07.01.2022 Our latest wall art canvas panel ready to hang. Another depiction of the power and beauty of our local coastline packed with colour and vibrance. If you would like this hanging in your home come in and check it out, it would be sure to make a statement in your living area.

07.01.2022 We are doing some cleaning up in our back work areas and have a quantity of small sheets of scrap card. Perfect for making lots of projects at home. This could help keep the kids busy while stuck at home.

05.01.2022 Customer: we had a portait session with Foons around 1984, can we buy an enlargement? Yeah ...... no problem! After fifty years operating in Wonthaggi we have always been here for the long haul ...

05.01.2022 And just like that, a gorgeous jigsaw becomes a valuable piece of pop culture wall art. Pink Floyd never looked so good.

05.01.2022 I want to show you an exciting new product we are now working with. It is a repositionable self adhesive material we can print on in a wide range of sizes. It allows us to make 'Peel & Stick' pictures. Perfect for rental flats or units where you aren't allowed to use picture hooks. Just stick the picture to the wall and peel it off when you move out. Used creatively it can transform a dull wall into something special. This job we installed last week is probably larger than y...ou may ever dream of doing yourself but it shows the scope of what you can achieve. Come and discuss your ideas with us and let the magic begin. See more

02.01.2022 I have a really big thank you to make today. A few weeks ago at the the Rotary Club Australia Day Ceremony, our business was presented with a wonderful award. This award was to acknowledge the long years of service to our local community providing good service, high standards, reliability and friendliness. Pictured is Alan Foon and Valerie Foon with the award. Our business began in the mid 60's when Morris Foon, a turner & fitter in the State Coal Mine turned his love of pho...tography into a small business. His passion grew from a small home darkroom to the current service which now provides photography through the area between Port Melbourne to Orbost. Not only providing a quality service but employing and training many, many local staff in the process. We strongly believe in keeping business local so we wish to thank all of our loyal customers for their support over the years, and our wonderful staff who deliver our services. Sadly Morris passed away 2 years ago and couldn't see this award but we know how proud he would have been. See more

In these challenging times we want you to know that we are still open for business and trying to maintain the same friendly family service you know and expect. #stillopen #supportlocal #wonthaggi #basscoast #smallbusiness

01.01.2022 Another Wonthaggi Historic image, taken by Morris Foon in the early 60's... I love the way the nurses wore their uniforms back in the day.
